<a name="GtkFileSelection.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
<a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html" title="GtkFileSelection"><span class="type">GtkFileSelection</span></a> has been superseded by the newer <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> family
of widgets.
</p>
<p>
<a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html" title="GtkFileSelection"><span class="type">GtkFileSelection</span></a> should be used to retrieve file or directory names from
the user. It will create a new dialog window containing a directory list,
and a file list corresponding to the current working directory. The filesystem
can be navigated using the directory list or the drop-down history menu.
Alternatively, the TAB key can be used to navigate using filename
completion - common in text based editors such as emacs and jed.
</p>
<p>
File selection dialogs are created with a call to <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-new" title="gtk_file_selection_new ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_new()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The default filename can be set using <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-set-filename" title="gtk_file_selection_set_filename ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_set_filename()</code></a> and the selected filename retrieved using <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-get-filename" title="gtk_file_selection_get_filename ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_get_filename()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Use <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-complete" title="gtk_file_selection_complete ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_complete()</code></a> to display files and directories
that match a given pattern. This can be used for example, to show only
*.txt files, or only files beginning with gtk*.
</p>
<p>
Simple file operations; create directory, delete file, and rename file, are available from buttons at the top of the dialog. These can be hidden using <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-hide-fileop-buttons" title="gtk_file_selection_hide_fileop_buttons ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_hide_fileop_buttons()</code></a> and shown again using <a class="link" href="GtkFileSelection.html#gtk-file-selection-show-fileop-buttons" title="gtk_file_selection_show_fileop_buttons ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_selection_show_fileop_buttons()</code></a>.

Sets a default path for the file requestor. If <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em> includes a
directory path, then the requestor will open with that path as its
current working directory.

directory separator.

The encoding of <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em> is preferred GLib file name encoding, which
